Windows 7: Another Windows Not Genuine thread Error 0x8004fe21

I have read read multiple threads over the past two months since I started having this issue. None of the fixes I have seen worked, so I finally decided to use this forum. I have owned this computer since 2010 with no issues until September of this year.

Here are some instructions to make life easier 1) To open an Elevated Command Prompt Window (the ECP window), click on Start, All Programs, Accessories – then right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator. Accept the UAC prompt. 2) To run the commands easier, highlight the block of commands, and right-click on the highlight – select Copy. In the CP Window, click on the black/white icon at top left – select Paste. The commands will run but may not complete the last command, so hit the Enter Key once. 3) To copy the results... click on the Black/White icon in the top left, and select Edit... 'Select All', and hit the Enter key - then use Ctrl+V or r-click+Paste to paste it into your response.

The error relates to IOBit software.
If it's still installed, uninstall it immediately - it will break your OS! (Uninstall ALL IOBit software - most of it is cheap back-engineered ripoffs, or phony registry tweaks)
